Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Dr. Peleya Patterson LCSW, DSW. I help people find calm, clarity and confidence through soul work - no matter what life throws your way.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience and a Doctorate in Social Work, I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for adolescents, adults and families navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Together we’ll uncover your obstacles, build practical coping skills, and strengthen the connections that matter most. Whether you’re a teen figuring out who you are, an adult feeling stuck or a family wanting more harmony at home, therapy is a place to heal — at your own pace, from the comfort of your space.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is all about creating a safe, relaxed space where you can simply be yourself. We’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy—no pressure, no judgment. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported from the very beginning.

Together, we’ll start identifying what’s been weighing on you and clarify what you’d like to change or explore. You can expect gentle guidance as we outline a few goals to focus on, whether that’s finding calm in stressful moments, gaining clarity in your relationships, or rebuilding confidence after a difficult experience.

The environment I create is collaborative and compassionate — rooted in evidence-based practices and soul work that honors both your story and your strength.

From our first meeting, my hope is that you leave feeling a bit lighter, more centered, and encouraged about the path ahead.

Healing starts here — one honest conversation at a time.
